"Dying With Elegance" is the second release from the French
band Kemet. I have found it very hard to review this album since I´m not quite
sure what I think about it. Musically it´s a mid-tempo dark metal history with
both deathy and dark, clean vocals garnered by a French accent. It is very
dynamic, changing from growling to clean, from fast and aggressive to slow and
emotional. In short there is a lot of passion put into the music. It´s not
quite enough to make for a magnificent world-class album but it is not bad and
far from the worst album that has hit the market this year. This kind of music
is a little too chaotic to enter the depths of my soul but it does have it´s
good moments I have to admit. In general the slower emotional passages are
better than the more aggressive sections but there are of course exceptions
like the nice riffs five minutes into the third track. More diverse drumming,
a thicker guitar sound and a little bit more exciting songs (perhaps
developing the emotional sound further?) would make Kemet a lot better in my
ears. The vocals don´t really seem to suit me either but that is probably just
a matter of taste since I am one of those strange people who hate AC/DC mainly
because of those really annoying vocals. This is not a bad release though and
it could certainly be of interest to all you fans of dark metal who don´t mind
a few growls. Additional female vocals were done by Véronique
Hoy.
